Matt Seaholm, president and CEO of the Plastics Industry Association in Washington, wants the treaty to have “ambitious yet reasonable” goals and be something that the U.S. government can agree to.
For his association, that means no caps or bans on plastic production and a focus on reducing plastic pollution in the environment. Seaholm also discussed the group’s support for recycled content requirements and why they see it as important that the treaty recognize advanced, or chemical, recycling of plastics.
